The Boston Celtics decided to say Goodbye to Dennis Schröder and say again Good day to Daniel Theis. For their part, the Rockets welcome the German leader with Enes Freedom and Bruno Fernando in his bag. Let’s analyze this little exchange made in Germany!
Here’s a deal that will get people talking on the Berlin side. As the trade deadline was coming to an end, Adrian Wojnarowski fromESPN announced that Celtics and Rockets have agreed to trade their German players. Daniel Theis returns to the Bean Town side and his compatriot, Dennis Schröder, is sent to Houston in a package with Enes Freedom and Bruno Fernando. Since taking office as president of basketball operations in Boston, Brad Stevens seems to be nostalgic for the time when his team was spending laps in the Playoffs. Already this summer, he had brought Al Horford back into his squad and today it is Daniel Theis who is returning to play at TD Garden, after moving to Chicago and then Houston.. The interior knows the green house and it comes to reinforce the bench of Bostonwho acquired Derrick White earlier in the evening.

For their part, the Rockets recover a veteran leader, in the person of Dennis Schröder. This season, Dennis la Malice is filming in 14.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 29.2 minutes per game. The German was probably recovered, a story of chaperone the young rockets for the rest of the season. Dennis Schröder mentor? We will have seen it all. The Rockets’ choice is quite surprising when you consider that the franchise has another veteran point guard, multiple All-Star, that it refuses to come out of the closet. The risk is not huge on the Texan side since to acquire the leader, the front office only released Daniel Theis, out of the rotation in favor of rookie Alperen Sengun. A deal that should allow Houston to gain flexibility this summer. She indeed recovers three expiring contracts and we are not heading for extensions. If Dennis Schröder could be kept until the end of the season (unless there is a buyout), Enes Freedom has already been cut by the Rockets and the fate of Bruno Fernando is still uncertain.
What an evening for the Boston franchise, which has been one of the busiest during this trade deadline. In the space of a few hours, the Celtics went below the Luxury Tax threshold and strengthened their bench. But no worries for the Rockets since they sent a German who didn’t play much to recover a German… who won’t play much.
